Cure of Youn Turknya.
i Cut R.„*,
Having received communications, ;
requesting our mode of feeding and \
rearing young turkeys, we were de
cided to make tins the subject of our
chat. We know all about how dis
heartening it is, after gathering the
i eggs, which as like as any way, tnad
am turkey had deposited in some out <
of-tlie way nook, necessitating a con
siderable search—sitting them with !
immense care lienesth our best brood- j
era, waiting with vrornniendablc pa- {
tii-nce through the long weeks of in
cubation and finally watching the
little down things peek their way
into this unknown world ; then, to
see all our fair hopes blasted, to go
out to the coop day after day and
mournfully gather up those that have
perished during the night, until our
flock attains nlmost as sorry dimen
sions as the fabled maiden's, "who
counted her chickens before they
were hatched-" We have been there, 1
we repeat, and know all about it, and 1
our sympathy for those in like condi- 1
tion is ao great that we arc more
than willing to shed all the light of '
which we are capable upon the sub. 1
ject, although we do not claim to (
know it quite all. If the poulta are 1
hatched by a hen it is our mode to I
coop the lien, providing her with a 1
warm nest box at the rear of the 1
coop, and to allow the poults to run <
freely through the latticed front, t
which should face the south, restrict- I
ing their run, however, until they
are a few weeks old. This is easily 1
done by placing two wide boards in t
such away that with the front of the
coops it forme a triangle. In this t
•pace the poults may be fed, beyond g
the reach of their voracious mamma, t
who doea^ <1 such dainty food, d
nor often, If we oan a
spare ou^^^^Ae y* to devote their 1
m
time to domestic matters, we rather
prefer them to the biddie for the
reason that after the poults are strong
enough to lie permitted perfect liber
ty to range, they are led by the pa
rents into the fields where they great
ly aid their growth and development
by the (juantities of grasshop|>erß,
and other insects, they devour. It
lias lecn our experience that, in ca*e
of the hen turkey presiding as moth
er, it is better not to confine her in
any way, but, instead, confine the
poults in a pen, say eighteen or twen
ty inches high, and after they arc
large enough to scale this they are
strong enough to lie allowed to do
so. They should, however, be driven
up to their pen every evening until
large enough to take to the tree with
grown turkeys. It is well, also, to
continue giving them their evening
meal of wheat screenings, cracked
corn or oats until fully grown, as in
this way they are the earlier and bet
ter fitted for the market. In tin*
pen you should place u roomy box
an old barrel, for a roosting place
while the poults are small and also
for n shelter from the cold chilling
rains, with which spring is rife. In
thin box or barrel place some straw,
and if it i* the former, set it in one
corner ol the pen, on its side, in such
away that all sides are protected and
only a sufficient opening is left for
convenient egress. In another cor
ner, underneath which you keep the
ground stri wri with fieh gravel, it is
immensely convenient to have a small,
movable, latticed coop, into which
the poults will soon learn to run for
the food which they require while
young, as often as five times a day.
Outside of the pen may IK- thrown
coarser fare for the mother when she
requires it ami water for her to drink-

Since decayed vegetable matter ex
actly meets the? needs of a growing
crop of tubers, if it is not in the
ground put it there by drawing on
leaf-mould, muck, vinea from any
crop, buckwheat ami other etrawa, or
grow green crops especially of clover
toturn under. Stable manure should
ta old ami well rotted. Coarse un
fermented manure# are very apt to
rot the tuliers. Many will not plant,
after the immediate uac of even old
decomposed manure. (Irecn crops
and stable manure ahould lie turned .
under in the fall, while muck and
leaf mould can lie drawn on before
plowing. I'otatoea make a heavy

(*. rtjp. llu'k.o,
I lie next day after this question
wan assigned to me for an answer ]
commenced to ilig my crop of pota
to* n. a part ol whicb ha<l Ixon plant
ed on the a*me grouncj on which I
raised ray last year s supply. The
other port ion of the patch was plant
ed on land where no potatoes had
lieen planted the past seven years.
All the laud had been well manured
with horse stable manure. I found
in digging that where potatoes were
grown last year thay did not turn
out as well as the other part of the
patch did. J Jalso found that the
potatoes were much more worm-eaten
and rough, consequently not so sala
ble or profitable. Twenty years ago
I had a similar experience, only to a
greater extent. I had just bought
rny farm and it seemed to suit to
plant a patch of potatoes on land
where potat'xs had been planted the
year previous, but the crop proved
to le almost an entire failure. I
then made inquiry of the former oc
cupant of the land, and was inform
ed that that particular piece of
ground bad bteri used for a potato
patch for a number of years in suc
cession. and that the crop had been
growing |*>orer and poorer each suc
ceeding year. Hence I have arrived
at the conclusion that potatoes can.
not be profitably raised on tbe same
soil for a succession of years. My
opinion is that a rotation of crops is
beet.

Too much pruning of fruit trees is

The *trawl>erry has fewer enemies

Mulched strawberries will be later,

To enjoy the strawlierry in its

An orchard in cold, damp land
will not often pay. It should be
under-drained.
Low trained trees well planted

The time to do most of the prun

More ISaldwin apples are sold in

Thomas Mernan savs that the
average life of the apple tree in
Pennsylvania is about fifty years.
Pear trees need very little trim

to raise.
A peach orchard planted and left
without attention as is so frequently

Tbe KeifTer pear tree has an orna

Fsrmers who will not or cannot
employ sufficient help to cultivate
their cropa properly should sell part
